The warnings are real because the dangers are real. Yes! I am talking about most talk able issue related to fitness. It is none other than but one and only- obesity. Obese mums beware! The new Australian research stated that Women who are overweight or single when they are pregnant could be more likely to deliver chubby children.
A study published in the Medical Journal of Australia. The factors which influence the obesity among children are given below:
• Mother’s weight and marital status create more to be responsible for childhood obesity than parenting style.
• Family clashes, negative life events, and maternal depression were not likely to affect a child’s tendency to become overweight or obese.
• Parenting style has nothing to do with childhood obesity.
Dr Lisa Gibson, a psychologist with the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth said,
We found that parenting style was not associated with childhood obesity. Previous indications of a link between poor family functioning and childhood obesity were based on studies without population-based data and without observations across a range of theoretically important factors.
She further cleared that eating habits and exercise might play a role in childhood weight problems. Further Dr. Gibson said,
Children from single-parent families, particularly when there is a family history of obesity, may struggle to maintain a healthy weight in an obesogenic environment with restricted access to nutritious foods and adequate facilities for recreational exercise.
